That really is quite lovely and striking. I did not realize that kind of thing was going on with bananas.

I thought this was a gambling forum?????

I thought this was a glorified Facebook?

A sure sign of a potassium deficiency is nurses start giving you little cups of potassium to drink.

That's when I knew.

I'll be sure to keep a keen eye out for that, then.

This place is a godsend.

I just ate 2 bananas. I usually just have one a day but circumstances dictated I double up. You could see from this pic I posted yesterday that I was in trouble:

Clearly, if I eat those bananas one-a-day, the last couple are going to be too ripe and mooshy by the time I get to them on the weekend. It's my own fault; I need to plan my bananas better. But it seems I never learn and I find myself in this situation of choosing between mealy bananas or accelerated bananas over and over.

Why do you write your grocery list in gibberish?

Also, my contribution to this thread:

Why do you write your grocery list in gibberish?

I don't know. It's just something that evolved. Product of a creative mind I suppose. Maybe at one time I was trying to give myself a little chuckle but now I do it without thinking. Everything is just slightly off.

I think my girlfriend is uneasy about it. She commented once about how I might drop dead while I was shopping and people would see my little shopping list with its puttates and millik and rose beef - and think, oh that poor man, he must have been mentally retarded.

She (my girlfriend) made that comment in kind of a jocular way - but I sensed she was not totally joking.

It's like that thing with some mothers stressing how you always need to wear clean underwear in case you are in an accident so the emergency personnel won't judge you. It may seem silly and frivolous in a way but they are serious about that shit.

I'm with your GF on this one.

If my girlfriend did this, it would bug the shit out of me. My being both OCD and a writer makes your gibberish list sit very poorly with me.

But alas, you certainly don't need to answer to me. We all have our quirks; I just wouldn't have guessed purposely misspelling food products in nonsensical ways was one of them. But cheers to you sir.

And it finally comes out. Mudcat will never be Vegas Dave's girlfriend.

All because of a little gibberish. Who would have thought?

Now now, let's not be hasty. Just because it would bug the shit out of me doesn't mean we couldn't work through it. All relationships have their ups and downs.

Muddy, I personally like the obscure way you spell the items on your list. I’m more concerned with the handwriting itself. Penmanship is important Muddy.

It’s probably not entirely your fault. You have become a product of your environment and everything is typed on a computer screen or a phone text and you handwriting has suffered from lack of practice.

Muddy, your girlfriends concerns aren’t realistic. You won’t have to worry about someone finding you dead in the market, looking at your list and thinking you were poor, uneducated or perhaps mentally ill, they won’t be able to read it.

With my girlfriend and I seemingly moving closer to co-habitating, there could be challenging times ahead. She also seems slightly put off by the way I never use round number when microwaving. Like where she would be inclined to nuke a potato 3:30 on each side, I would be more likely to draw my sword and wave it around and declare, "Rules? Fuck your rules!" then cook it 3:46 on one side, 3:21 on the other.

I am very subversive at heart.

I've always liked Muddy but I am really liking well sexed gambling relaxed Muddy.

Good point in theory but not so much in practice. My handwriting is really not too bad. The sample in this thread was not representative.

Sometimes intent is an issue though. I recall a time years ago when I got to the grocery store and pulled out my list and there was the word "gadzookis." It was just as legible as could be but I had no idea what it meant.
